AmCF
He had just turned nineteen yesterday
AmCF
Wanted to be a school teacher someday
AmCF
Came from a small and modest town
AmCFG
Had never before traveled abroad
AmCF
He signed on the promise of a college fund
AmCF
Pop and Mom begged him to stay at home
AmCF
The last time they saw him was at an airport
AmCF
He hugged his distraught mother a final time
GF
He went abroad to serve when he was only nineteen
GF
Reality caught up with him, stole a heart full of dreams
CG
He's never gonna get a chance to chase all those hopes
AmF
Lost them all amidst this war and smoke
CG
Can you hear the sound of youth negated?
AmF
Watch on TV names are taken

Mother, Mother

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/street-dogs/98682.html ]AmCF X2
Paris Island was plain hell on earth
Got gunny yelling at him, "better prove your worth"
Moved on to Baghdad about six months on
Caught an IED today, now he is gone
He went abroad to serve when he was only nineteen
Reality caught up with him, stole a heart full of dreams
He's never gonna get a chance to chase all those hopes
Lost them all amidst this war and smoke
Can you hear the sound of youth negated?
Watch on TV names are taken
Mother, Mother
My final transmission
Am x4
FAm
Dad and Mom I am your only loving son
CG
Hid a written final transmission under my helmet
FAm
Love you both in heart and mind
CG
A better set of parents no boy could ever find
Am~~
Weep for me and say thy prayers
N.C
Remember me through all your years
Am~~
Only got to serve for six months on and
N.C
If you're reading this I have passed and gone
[Verse Chords]
So I harbor my final request
A letter in my memory please send
Off to the President and all his men
Begging him with others to bring the troops back home
He's never gonna get a chance to chase all those hopes
Lost them all amidst the war and smoke
Can you hear the sound of youth negated?
Watch on TV names are taken
He's never gonna get a chance to chase all those hopes
Lost them all amidst this war and smoke
Can you hear the sound of youth negated?
Why are all those young lives taken?
Mother, Mother
